As our volunteer, we hope you'll fall in love with the Baja Peninsula, just like we did, we want you to have the time to explore - alone or with newly made hostel friends - and make unforgettable memories of your time in Los Cabos.

What can you expect during your time in Whale Tales:
- A warm & open environment, where you are a part of our hostel family
- A bed in a shared dorm
- Daily breakfast
- Free laundry + free coffee & tea, the occasional free food (did somebody say pizza night?)
- A waterfall of tips & tricks on where to go and what to do while in Baja California Sur...



Activities & Shift

24 hours per week (3 days off)

Tasks include:
- Help keeping our rooms, common areas and outdoor areas sparkly shiny clean
- Help keeping our plants alive
- Assist with the check-in and check-out of fellow travelers + give them a little tour of the hostel
- Organize micro-adventures & events: take your hostel buddies on a hike to the nearby viewpoint, organize game night, sunset views on the beach,...

Rules

One requirement: as we are called 'Whale Tales', we want to hear your stories: you'll have to share your funniest, stupidest or clumsiest travel story with us!
